Listen to Radagast the Brown Before You See Him in The Hobbit

A new track from the soundtrack to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has revealed the movie’s orchestral theme for Radagast the Brown. The orchestration is...surprisingly tense! And weird, and maybe just a tiny bit at war with itself, just like the wizard. Take a listen to Howard Shore’s “Radagast the Brown” in the video below.

There is a hint of Shore's old LotR scores, which is wonderful. There's also parts that remind me of Zimmer's Sherlock Holmes and Elfman's Alice in Wonderland. Altogether, magical, new yet familiar, and totally fits with what I expect of the Doctor Radagast.
